England vs South Africa Prediction: England to win the series in the final game

The Englishmen fell short by 62 runs in the first game of the series but came back strongly with their bowling prowess and bowled out South Africa for only 83 runs. Will they be able to do it again or will it be a series-winning performance by the South Africans?

England is having a tough summer so far with heatwaves across the country and performances have been subpar for the ODI champions. The games are also coming thick and fast and there is very little rest between the games. They have been struggling since the departure of Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler is not having the best of the starts for his captaincy career. The Englishmen were able to bounce back from the first game defeat and were able to level up the series 1-1 to have a series showdown in Headingley Carnegie. England has improved with the bat in this series and bowlers won the last game by taking all South African wickets for 83. They will be expecting the same type of performance in the final game of the series.

South Africa is coming into the game with a fabulous victory in the first game of the series but lost the second game. They have been fabulous with the bat in the first game but did very little to impress in the second one. No one seemed to get going and they lost the game by 100+ runs. Dwaine got the opportunity and took regular wickets in the last game. They have well-balanced bowling but the batting needs some improvement. This inconsistency needs to be resolved and they need to come back strongly in the final game of the series.

The pitch will be batter friendly and it will assist them in strokeplay. Rain will be again a big factor in deciding the length of the game. We are expecting an English win with the recent wind in their sail.
